i know this is a late reply to this thread but i did not see any solution here. i had this problem and did a html check that found a typo in the <!DOCTYPE line that caused all calls to assert_select to fail. so i believe any bad html tag or unclosed tag could cause these so don't look only at the 'failing' tag but make sure all tags are correct.
